"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."Ronald Reagan

For days after the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, intelligence officials and the Barack Obama administration said it was likely the outgrowth of protests sparked by an anti-Islamic video made in the United States.

The timeline of events in Benghazi, Libya:

April 6: IED thrown over the fence of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

June 6: A large IED destroys part of the security perimeter of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Creates hole “big enough for 40 men to go through.”.

June 10: A car carrying the British ambassador is attacked in Tripoli. Two bodyguards injured.

Late June: The building of the International Red Cross attacked again and closed down, leaving the U.S. flag as the only international one still flying in Benghazi, an obvious target.

September 12: Secretary Clinton and President Obama issue statements condemning both the video and the attacks.

September 12: U.S. intelligence agencies have enough evidence to conclude a terrorist attack was involved.

October 2: Carney declines to comment on reported requests from diplomats in Libya for additional security, citing the State Department’s internal investigation.

October 10: Congressional Oversight Hearing both lawmakers and witnesses alike pointed to State Department official Charlene Lamb as the person most directly responsible for rejecting multiple requests for increased security at the U.S. diplomatic missions in Libya prior to the September 11 attack.

October 10: House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) excoriated the State Department for rejecting requests from the U.S. Embassy in Libya for an extension of temporary security forces that were withdrawn in the months prior to the attack that killed Amb. Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

October 10: During the hearing, the top regional security officer in Libya over the summer, Eric Nordstrom, and Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, a Utah National Guardsman who was leading a security team in Libya until August, placed the blame squarely on Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs, whom they said was the official who denied those requests.

October 10: Charlene Lamb "We had the correct number of assets in Benghazi on the night of 9/11,"

October 10: Lt. Col. Andrew Wood "It was instantly recognizable as a terrorist attack. We almost expected the attack to come. It was a matter of time," Wood said. "[Al Qaeda's] presence grows there every day. They are certainly more established there than we are."

October 11: Vice-President Joe Biden during Vice-Presidential debate "We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there,".

NEW October 14: Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says the State Department is sitting on $2.2 billion that should be spent on upgrading security at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, but the Obama administration will not spend the funds. Issa claims the State Department will not spend the already approved funds because they didn't want to the appearance of needing increased security.

NEW October 15: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the bucks stops with her when it comes to who is blame for a deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.

"I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, were the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

NEW October 16: (2nd Presidential Debate)OBAMA: Secretary Clinton has done an extraordinary job. But she works for me. I'm the president and I'm always responsible, and that's why nobody's more interested in finding out exactly what happened than I do.

NEW October 16: “Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts…No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.”

Attempted Benghazi Coverup

Benghazi Attack Timeline
For days after the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, intelligence officials and the Barack Obama administration said it was likely the outgrowth of protests sparked by an anti-Islamic video made in the United States.

Lt. General Tom McInerney told Judge Jeanine tonight (10/13/12) that the only reason the Obama administration ordered the FBI to investigate the Benghazi attack is to stall it through the election. He says this was an act of war against the United States and if this had been assigned to the military we would have known 2 days later what happened.

Robin of Berkeley

Obama thinks we're on his Slave Ship, and he's taking us along for a ride. He wants us to experience the same terror, helplessness, and despair as that New York audience held captive in the theater long ago.
He wants us to suffer. That's why there's an impish gleam in his eye when he consigns Republicans to the back of the bus.
For Obama, the change has come. But it's not prosperity. It's not uniting us as one people, Americans, under God.

RG - In Defense With a Handgun

Defense like anything else in life, is all about decisions and creating and maintaining an action plan that is thoroughly thought out and constantly updated. When one is under duress and lives are at stake, that is NOT the proper time to make decisions. This is why training and an action plan is vitally important, because it is better to act on instinct when frightened or stressed than try and make instantaneous decisions without pre-planning and an action plan.

Remembering 9/11/2001

102 Minutes that Changed AmericaFor 102 minutes on September 11, 2001, the world looked on in horror as terrorists flew hijacked passenger planes into New York City's mighty twin towers, destroying the iconic buildings and killing more than 2,700 people.

Great American BoatliftThe captains and crew of the fleet of boats who rescued so many on 9/11 came together with no idea what they would be getting into and no idea whether Manhattan would be attacked again - let alone their very own boats.

Honoring the NYFDThis award winning documentary from the FDNY perspective, was shot in and around the site and fire houses shortly after the towers fell. This video was inspired by a retired NY fire fighter who was able to talk to his brother fire fighters like no one else could.
